NATPE Spotlight: Mondo TV Iberoamerica

MIAMI: Created by the Argentine writer Marcela Citterio and inspired by Johanna Spyri’s 1880 novel, Heidi, Bienvenida a Casa is a live-action series being presented by Mondo TV Iberoamerica.

“Heidi, Bienvenida a Casa is our first co-production of a teen fiction series, produced entirely in Argentina alongside Alianzas Producciones,” says Maria Bonaria Fois, the general manager of Mondo TV Iberoamerica. “This brand-new series will launch in early 2017 on one of Latin America’s major regional pay-TV channels: Nickelodeon Latinoamérica.” She adds, “The TV adaptation will bring [Heidi’s] story to the screen through an exciting mix of music, humor, comedy and color, all combined in a cinematic style that creates a truly magical universe.”

Mondo TV Iberoamerica is also presenting the animated series YooHoo & Friends 3D and Invention Story. “Our focus is to build our distribution business and to be well-positioned in the market as a strategic partner for original productions,” says Bonaria Fois.
